Retrieved on Aug 11th 2013.</ref>|In terms of where we go next, we cannot answer too directly, but now that Lara has survived the Island she can follow the clues that she found on the island. In terms of the non-linear spaces, we were really happy with this aspect of the design and how it catered to player-driven exploration. This is something we are excited to continue and evolve. - - Now that Lara is more experienced, we are excited to take her on new adventures that challenge her new strength and confidence. It is important that even as Lara grows as a character, so do the challenges she must face. The goal of this vision was to introduce you to a story of how Lara becomes an adventurer and a true Croft. Future games will be defined by who Lara has become as a result of who she is at the end of this experience.}}

| − | The comic writer [[Gail Simone]] will work on this new Tomb Raider comic series. Some essential thoughts about the game sequel and the new comics are on the following excerpt of the interview on ''Kotaku.com'':{{Quote|Kotaku.com<ref>[http://kotaku.com/a-new-tomb-raider-comic-shows-whats-next-for-lara-crof-838044972 Kotaku.com: A New Tomb Raider Comic Shows What's Next for Lara Croft After Hit Game] Originally published on 19th of July 2013. Retrieved on 25th of July 2013.</ref>|'''Kotaku''': The new Tomb Raider game reboots Lara Croft and her world in a much darker vein, with elements of horror providing much of the tension. How are the new comics going to reflect that?<br>
| + | For news concerning ''Rise of the Tomb Raider'' see [[Rise of the Tomb Raider/Old News]]. |
| − | <br>
| |
| − | '''Simone''': I chose to do this series solely because I loved the game so much, so we’re definitely keeping the tone of the game. I’ve always loved the classic, cool Lara Croft, but this feels like her origin story, like we’re seeing her before she becomes the icon, and it’s very compelling to me. The storytelling in the game hooked me instantly. The biggest difference is, the game told a claustrophobic story in an isolated setting. We are going globetrotting.<br> | |
| − | <br>
| |
| − | '''Kotaku''': When does this [new comic] series take place with respect to the events of the new game? Will this still be a new Lara who's just starting out as an adventurer?<br>
| |
| − | <br>
| |
| − | '''Simone''': Very much so, we start just a few weeks after the end of the game, and this is all in continuity, it will be Tomb Raider canon, and lead DIRECTLY into the sequel. This is what got me excited; we get to be part of Lara Croft history.<br>
| |
| − | <br>
| |
| − | '''Kotaku''': The first Tomb Raider games don’t give Lara much motivation for doing what she does. She existed to be controlled and looked at. What do you see as Lara’s core defining trait? What drives her to do what she does?<br>
| |
| − | <br>
| |
| − | '''Simone''': It’s true that the earliest games didn’t really give deeply emotional motives to the characters, but damn, they were fun. And groundbreaking in several ways. The way I see Lara now is, she’s not after treasure. She’s not really after thrills. She’s a questioner, she’s an explorer. She wants answers. The thing is, she’s completely unstoppable. That’s what I love. Everyone underestimates her, and that is a terrible mistake to make.}}
